Untargetable/immortal drones
Hitboxes of drones was changed? Or why my missiles are exploding almost inside a drone but drone did not even got hit? Even from replay missile was right next to drone, exploded, but drone did not get a hit. Since last update I observe survivability of drones out of this universe. And I´m not even mentioning their hitboxes, where milion projectlies is shot at drone, but even than drone is magically untouched. I saw Tunguska and Gepard trying to take down drone, but drone was still flying. It was hilarious to watch. Before last update there was not many problems with taking down drones, but for now it took 4 rockets to take down one drone, Strela did not even locked at it even when drone was nearby. Everything else is fine. Helis, planes... al is locked properly and nothing to complain about, but drones? Well... they are completely different story.

Did I miss something in changes? Or they messed up with rockets/missiles once again?

It works differently every time. I observe the same thing, but in one game I shoot down drones without problems, in another game, the same SPAA I can't shoot down a single drone with 10 missiles at the same distance, the same SPAA, etc.

Btw, what bothers me about drones is their unpleasant visibility when you're in a plane. It's a bit of a funny sci-fi when you had a reconnaissance drone you could see 10 kilometers from a plane and you couldn't see a large combat drone if you were 100 meters away, or even a large helicopter you could see later than a reconnaissance drone. Of course, this often confuses the player because he's not sure if it's an enemy plane or a helicopter, and he often flies after this target completely unnecessarily, because he can see it 10 kilometers plus, which is really very, very realistic.

Sometimes my missile just stops tracking it for 0 reason, like I'll have a perfect lock on with my stinger and it'll just fly straight vertical and miss for no reason
